Hochiki Fire Safety System Ensures Safety and Style
AU Vodka's impressive new head office in Swansea is protected by a Hochiki fire detection system that blends seamlessly with the contemporary architectural design
AU Vodka, the rapidly expanding premium spirits brand renowned for its distinctive gold bottles, has selected a state-of-the-art fire detection system from Hochiki Europe for its impressive new head office in Swansea. Installed by South Wales-based fire safety and security specialists H3 Group, the system provides exceptional reliability and seamlessly integrates with the building’s ultra-modern design. The new two-storey AU Vodka HQ is a unique and dynamic workspace designed to accommodate more than 150 employees. Besides sleek, contemporary offices and communal areas, the building boasts a bustling kitchen, a mini golf course, and even a maze, presenting a diverse range of fire safety requirements.
AU Vodka entrusted the task of safeguarding this prestigious and complex environment to H3 Group, a long-standing partner of Hochiki Europe, who recognized the need for a fire detection system that not only offered unparalleled reliability but also complemented the building’s striking aesthetic. The Hochiki ESP addressable system was specifically chosen for its high performance and its ability to blend seamlessly with the contemporary architectural design of the AU Vodka offices. For a brand that places significant emphasis on visual appeal, the sleek and unobtrusive nature of Hochiki’s devices was a critical factor in the decision-making process.
The two-floor layout of the headquarters also necessitated a robust and reliable networking capability. Hochiki’s system provides seamless communication and control across the entire building, ensuring comprehensive fire safety coverage throughout all areas, from the main office spaces to the unique recreational facilities. This integrated approach guarantees that all zones are continuously monitored and protected. The implementation of the Hochiki fire detection system by H3 Group ensures that AU Vodka’s innovative and creative hub in Swansea is equipped with a fire safety solution that is as reliable, stylish, and as cutting-edge as the brand itself, providing peace of mind for employees, and safeguarding the company’s valuable assets.
